The below article is about the only official information (and certainly more believable, IMO, than the current rumours going around) about the order that I've found and it mentions 47 Enviro400s (35 for Green Lane and 12 for Speke) and 11 Enviro200s (5 for Rhyl and 6 for Wrexham) - nothing for Birkenhead, unless they're to MAX or Sapphire standard...

To be honest, Birkenhead don't even need new 'deckers. Am I the only one who thinks that they'd be a waste when other depots are still struggling with single-deckers? The current older ones are mainly wasted on local services apart from when they're covering hybrids when they're unavailable - that reason hardly justifies brand-new ones though.

It was mentioned on the Arriva North West Facebook page earlier in the week that Birkenhead are due 6 Enviro 400's.
